12:03 am

Jacula

Hello again! What I really didn't need right now is the track in my headphones! Just put freee CD from lat Sunday's paper into drive and have got Village People's YMCA playing. What the f*ck has that to do with Christmas??? And, yes, I censored my own word on here!

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

nava - ssshhh! don't tell anyone, but there is crack in electronic format being beamed directly into our eyes....;)

12:05 am

Schroeder

12:05 am

Smeltzdog

12:05 am

renfield

jacula - we should make our own cd's

12:05 am

nava

i seriously wouldn't doubt it!

12:06 am

GreyWoulf

Schroeder - why wasn't it there on the naughty board from a few days ago? (*giggles*)

12:07 am

brandyjack

I remember seeing it? Maybe it was one of the ones you missed?

12:08 am

GreyWoulf

Or maybe I have spent way too much time playing this game and not enough time sleeping so my memory is faulty, brandyjack :D

12:08 am

Jacula

The Boxtops - Build Me Up Buttrcup is on now. Quite appropriate really, but nowt to do with Xmas, and neither is the track coming on now... When Will I see You Again? - 3 Degrees. I'll forgive 'em for that one though, brings back happy memories, believe it or not. LOL.

12:09 am

Jacula

BJ - Are you being cheeky again? LOL.

12:10 am

LeslieAnn

12:11 am

Jacula

'W Are Family' Sister Sledge. next track on that cd. Again, I must ask, what has that to do with Xmas??

12:11 am

brandyjack

That's ok, the q5/16 makes up for it

12:11 am

Schroeder

Hee Hee Hee, I tried that one also LeslieAnn

12:12 am

Jacula

Not even looked at grid yet! But that's just me, a rebel at heart. LOL.

12:12 am

renfield

looks like the qc dept failed on labeling

12:12 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - does it say it's a Xmas mix? If so, someone deserves to lose their job

12:13 am

Jacula

It's called 'The Mega Christmas Album'.

12:13 am

GreyWoulf

12:16 am

Schroeder

Hi Sprite!!!

12:16 am

Jacula

There is NOTHING Christmassey on 1st disc - even that bloody Gloria Gaynor track, the 'I will SURVIVE' on is on there. I can only think the first cd is meant to get drunken folk of all ages up on the dance floor? 2nd disc, which we get next Sunday, looks more promising...

12:16 am

GreyWoulf

oops - meant G'nite to Babbler -- your dogs are very similar to this sleep depped woulf!

12:17 am

renfield

wait gw - babbler's the little blonde - i'm the big blonde puppster

12:17 am

brandyjack

It was free. Got what you paid for I think. Personally, I consider it better than all those nauseating things we are hearing now. It wouldn't be so bad if the selection wasn't so dratted limited..........

12:17 am

GreyWoulf

q7/40

12:18 am

sprite

Sweet, manageble grid :)

12:18 am

GreyWoulf

12:19 am

Schroeder

Do all blonds look alike to GW?

12:19 am

sprite

Lol Woulf, that's sweet of you. I have been working and had to postpone babble till after working hours. But that happens every week on my working days, so don't worry ;)

12:20 am

GreyWoulf

Only when I'm tired -- truth be told I prefer darker hair...

12:20 am

Jacula

I'm a brunette, so dunno! LOL.

12:21 am

sprite

Jacula, you look like a deep blackhaired lady to me ;)

12:21 am

Schroeder

Me too Jac....

12:21 am

renfield

12:21 am

Jacula

12:23 am

Jacula

Dancing in the Street, Martha & The Vandellas is on now. Keep dancing!

12:24 am

Schroeder

12:24 am

sprite

Hi lotti!

12:25 am

lottijw

Hey Sprite....you lost the banana then!!!! No Torgone yesterday :(

12:25 am

GreyWoulf

But, when it comes right down to it, physical attributes any kind are only meaningful if you are only looking. :)

I have gotten in trouble in the past because I was so caught up in the personality of the person I was with, that I had no clue what colour her hair or eyes were! :D

12:25 am

Jacula

Hiya Lotti! Yes, I let him get away this time. Mind you, if he stasrts again in a couple of hours it may be a different story. 'Brothers Grimm' eat your hearts out! LOL.

12:26 am

sprite

R8/50 is probably already been mentioned, but isn't it funny how this word comes back so soon?

12:26 am

sprite

Errr.... R8/45 I mean.
Still not totally awake.

12:30 am

Jacula

Oh:-( Next track is one my Mu would like, Tom Jones, She's A Lady.

12:30 am

Schroeder

*giggles even harder, falls out of bed * brandyjack you had to make me find that....

12:31 am

Jacula

Jac wonders if she's the only one who has not even glanced at the grid yet, even after committing it to paper?

12:33 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - it's tough to DJ and word hunt at the same time ;)

12:33 am

torgone

Slept in this morning, and had chef and her boyfriend over. Between them and my other two, I cannot get on the computer sometimes. Anyway, It was a lovely day..

12:33 am

Schroeder

12:35 am

Schroeder

Hi Blaze

12:35 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Blaze!

I'm dancing too, looking the utter fool but not caring!

12:35 am

Jacula

Schroeder - what would you like to dance to next? I see my other half has emptied a bottle of wine down the sink, since he was peed off at me for not getting him up on time. *Sigh*

12:36 am

lottijw

BJ do you mean her in the top right corner?????

12:36 am

brandyjack

Yes, i do.

12:36 am

renfield

lottijw

LOL!!!

12:37 am

Jacula

Wolfie - you keep on 'Dad' dancing and I'll do 'embarrasing Mum' dancing. but what are we dancing TO now??

But I might have been talking about the s8/45. She is also in the top right corner.......

12:39 am

Jacula

Schroeder - It's Deep Purple, Strange Kinda Woman, so you'll have to head-bang and hope it doesn't send you dizzy these days. Sorry! Was 1st cd I picked out. And thanks for the wine.

12:39 am

torgone

Thanks for the card, luv!
((XX))((XX))((XX))

12:40 am

C8/50-9/66
C7/44
N8/45
R7/28, R7/32
S8/45

GreyWoulf

12:45 am

lottijw

Knew you would!!!! Sounds like BJ`s a similar kind of guy!!!

12:45 am

sprite

I must admit I didn't check the entire log, Woulf... too busy finding new ones ;)
This is a nice grid! I like the E6/18 (for no other reason than that it is such a nice word to look at, so round and vowely in contrast to its meaning)

12:45 am

Jacula

If you had long wild hair and wore leattherand studs in those days, people kinda stood back from you and watched in awe. ROFLOL.

Next track up - Hendrix - Voodoo Chile. I hope you all know that one well enough to do to cool head bang to!

Voodoo Chile is one of the songs I like to listen to with headphones turned up REAL LOUD!

12:48 am

renfield

sorry - got carried away - shutting mouth

12:48 am

Jacula

12:51 am

Jacula

Oh, sorry Paul!

12:52 am

lottijw

12:53 am

12:54 am

Jacula

12:55 am

lottijw

12:56 am

lottijw

*Lotti begins to slope off the dance floor*

12:57 am

Jacula

Lotti! Eh? Is this something I've missed?? I mean, I saw the Anj & Lola thing a mile off before they even saw it but... what have I missed now? Dance has just finished. You two get off to the shower.... Oh, ROFLOL.

12:58 am

Schroeder

Okay back...next track Jacula

12:58 am

Jacula

(*catches breath, grabs another drink for moral fortitude*)

Great job, sprite!

1:03 am

GreyWoulf

(*or is that immoral fortitude?*)

1:04 am

renfield

lightening sprite!

1:04 am

Jacula

By the way, folks. Don't think I've told you lot this, but I have told my family. My fave track of all time is Lynyrd Skynryd's 'Freebird', LIVE VERSION. So, should I die unexpectedly, I expect to be sent out to that song.

1:04 am

Schroeder

Wow Sprite, great job

1:06 am

Schroeder

Don't worry Jacula, I will play it non-stop for you....and dance...

1:06 am

1:07 am

renfield

1:07 am

Jacula

Sprite. You have my great admiration. *SHAKES head*. I though I was a maestro of words, but you have me beate , and I bow down to you.

However, song that could have been written for me is on the jukebox now...Blowing Free by Wishbone Ash.

*blushes and helps Jacula up very fast* Thanks ;)
Got to run, kids must go to school and it is pouring, so I think I'll be a sweet mom today. Have a great day/night/whatever to you all.

1:10 am

GreyWoulf

Well, then if it's in the board, we may as well revel in it!

1:13 am

Jacula

I'm sure |I'll check back on this log for inspiration later,. but am just listening to music (my 1st love) right now and haven't even glanced at grid,. Parisienne|Walkways by Gary Moore right now. Listren to him LOUD in your headphones , but be sure to see him live. After Hendrix, he's the master.

1:14 am

Jacula

'Bye for now Sprite. Enmjoy the day.

1:16 am

Jacula

I've skipped Fanfare For The Common Man by ELP, and now we're on to Radar Love by Golden Earring. This IS a song my other half knows about. He should text me soon, I hope.

1:17 am

Schroeder

Jacula I'm sure he will...

1:18 am

GreyWoulf

Fanfare is a bit too long for right now, Jac tho I do love ELP -- Pirates is one of my favorite songs by them

1:19 am

Jacula

Have to say that last band's singer was bloody sexy when I saw him back in 70s. He was sweating so much he flicked it onto all of us girls in front row. I said 'PHWOAR' then. Would prob. say 'YUCK!' now, but never mind! LOL.

1:21 am

Jacula

(Was talking about Golden Earring there, btw. Ever so sorry for turning this into a music site. But it is my first love, then words...'

1:22 am

Jacula

Wolfie - got Rocky Mountain by Joe Walsh on now - not a short track!

1:22 am

renfield

ok by me - when it's a song i know - i'll sing / dance along -

1:23 am

Schroeder

That's okay Jacula I'm the same way, time doesn't permit me to do both a lot. Listen to different types of music at the studio but only in measures of 8

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

Excellent - I need the boost to keep me up, eyes getting heavy...

1:24 am

Jacula

I can't help my fascnation with watching guitarists play! How do you think I ended up married in the 1st place ? LOL.

1:24 am

Schroeder

*slides GW coffee drink*

1:25 am

GreyWoulf

*politely declines*
coffee and I do not get along well
tea on the other hand...

1:25 am

renfield

1:29 am

Jacula

And, once that's got you bopping again, let's hear a really great track from Rod Stewart when he hid under the light that was Python Lee Jackson. Let's hear 'In A Broken Dream' - a truly great track, in my opinion...

1:31 am

renfield

we trust you - you are our cyber dj

1:32 am

GreyWoulf

OK, I have to go to bed -- my brain just froze on the def for the 1st he4 -- I won't be able to find much more until I get some rest

I going to give it five more mins and then go to sleep
(I am SUCH an addict) :D

1:33 am

Jacula

Renfielld - don't just trust me... LISTEN to the track.

1:34 am

Schroeder

GW you know 5 turns into 10 and then......

1:34 am

renfield

ok - sorry - 8)

1:35 am

Jacula

Wolfie, you go to bed, luv. Try doing what I do and don't even look at the grid until you're in the right mood to do so. I'm in a music mood now. Rod's singing in my headphones and I want no more! LOL.

Now Torgone I can be your sl4/5 for a few more minutes!!!

2:14 am

Jacula

Lotti! You wotsit! I did just look at the grid for that word! LOL.

2:14 am

torgone

You are s8/45 than any woman I've met in a long time, luv.

2:14 am

macadam

Remember who is here this morning!Easily shocked too:)

2:15 am

Jacula

And, oh, btw, I haven't been texted yet. Guess I am in trouble!

2:15 am

lottijw

Mother avert your eyes!!!!!!
Are you hanging around Torgone, cos i`ll be back in approx 30 mins!??

2:16 am

Jacula

Mac - you and I need to avert our eyes, I think. Mothers really do not want to know what their daughters are getting up to!

Mac - we really MUST avert now! Torg's not sure of being back and so Lotti's got to get all the stops out! We don't wanna see that, do we? I mean, I've got Rod's 'Rocks' in my headphones... Get yer rocks offf, get yer rocks off, honey , etc...' Need I say more?

2:19 am

macadam

You didn`t say I had to cover the ears too!

2:20 am

torgone

MMMMMmmmmmm.
That may just get me through the night . . .

2:20 am

lottijw

Mum, you have far from the quietest daughter in the world!!!!

2:21 am

Jacula

Superstar's on now. 'What do I do now, Baby?' We may not need to put earplugs in for that, but maybe we should.

2:21 am

macadam

I`ve just got to My Guy.(little did mary wells know)

2:22 am

macadam

Splutter .cough,choke-------Who`s that then?

2:23 am

Jacula

Well, precisely, Mac. I think you & |I should slope off now, unless they do so first.

(1) Let her in on your secret heart
This very secret
You're trying to conceal
is the very same one
You're dying to reveal...'

2:31 am

Jacula

(That was only part of a Rod song, btw.)

2:33 am

lottijw

See you later hun xxxx

Ttfn everyone i`ll be back soon!!

2:34 am

macadam

Time for me to get organised for work .See you later .Keep singing Jacula,I`ve enjoyed it.Lovely morning so far.I hope the snow stays away.

2:50 am

Jacula

Normal folks' waking up time now! Nearly 9am.

2:54 am

Jacula

And as for Jacula? If she was the so-called 'Norm' she'd nevdr have been given her nickname, would she? She's fallen deep into a dark pit. Perhaps she should be left there. Life's chucked a lot at her, but the collapse (maybe) of her swan song at love... yea, well. It happens. Bye folks. Nice talking to all of you but I think I've made enough of a fool of myself now.

3:00 am

Jacula

Incidentally, if you want to know what's on the juke box now, it's Glenn Miller's 'In The Mood', soon to be followed by Moonlight Serenade and American Patrol. Don't ask 'why', just listen and DANCE. (Properly!)

3:06 am

helenary

Jac..i am a shrink..need to talk??

3:06 am

micamonkey

buenos dia :)

3:11 am

Jacula

Helenary - I don't know, Do I? Those songs have always got to m to make me talk, dance and cry since I was 3 or 4 year's-old. My parents just said I'd been 'born again too soon'. Maybe I am I nutter? H - mail me through the BabAnon ez-box if you want to talk to me privately. Wouldn't blame you if you didn't though! LOL.

3:12 am

helenary

how would I do that Jac?? i.e. email you..most happy to do so.

3:14 am

Jacula

Helenary - through Babblers Anonymous. If you join up there you can private message me through the ez-box. Not even I am mad enough to post my e-mail address on the net for all to see.

I agree..no posting emails!
I will try and follow those instructions but not at all sure I will get there. I looked at BabAnon and got a bit stuck after that.

3:18 am

Jacula

Lotti - is it possible you're old enough to just prance about on the dance floor to Glenn Miller Band's American Patrol?

3:18 am

lottijw

Jac i don`t care how mad or not you are....you`re still a star to me and provide excellent entertainment!!!!!
Have the village idiots started digging again yet????

3:20 am

Jacula

Loti - Not as far as I know yet, love. But then I don't seem to know much, do I? And thanks for the stuff you said. That's the thing about humour, you see. The funniest humour is always the personal stuff.

3:21 am

lottijw

Macadam loves Glenn Miller so yes i can prance about with you, but my jiving was never up to much!!!!

3:21 am

helenary

please!! nobody has used the word mad..thats a crazy thing to say!!

3:22 am

helenary

sorry I will butt out. All is well.

3:24 am

Jacula

Lotti - my jiving in myhy head is absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately, it only sends its brilliance to my right side and not my left. So, not a great jiver either! Those I wish!

3:26 am

lottijw

I wish i was good at it too, Macadam is brilliant at jiving. She`s jazz and big band mad too!!! She`s also crazy about " ol blue eyes" :)

3:27 am

Jacula

Helenary - you don't need to do that. My 2 kids often tell me I need 'a shrink'. Bear in mind that my daughter (who spent over 2 years in a psychiatic ward, might know that) and who knows, after all that crap she may well be right, after all, the first thing they tell the kid to do is 'BLAME MOM!' Not meant nastily to you, but it is true, and I'm sure you know that.

3:33 am

helenary

don't be sour..mums have mums too and we all have shadows and stuff, and even shrinks have to deal with their stuff

3:34 am

Jacula

Lotti - if someone was right in front of me right now, and it was you, you'd get one of those big blue Batchelor's soup furry arms hugs, you know?

3:35 am

lottijw

Oh babe you`re wonderful (((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) ))

3:38 am

Jacula

Helenary - I'm sorry, Didn't mean to be sour but, hey,in one breath you're offering to maybe counsel me nd when talk about rhw'Mum' thing, you suddenly get all uppity? I DO understand, believe it or not. We saw enough shrinks who had had enough and needed a hug themselves in the years |(not jusdt those 2 I mentioned) to know psychiatrists etc., are only human! Blinking heck, girl! I'm not a moron! Neither are you!

3:41 am

Jacula

Can I text him now? Should I?

3:41 am

helenary

I feel a shit for sticking my neck out. Would love to talk to you but I have not joined BaAnon or whatever. I just come in and out of the game when i have a bit of time. I acutally enjoy all aspects of the game. I am not sure what to do to be more involved in the chat etc I will take any suggestions. You guys do have a lot of fun with it all and I enjoy the process.

3:42 am

lottijw

No Jac make him sweat....... 69 will crack before you do !!!! ;)

3:42 am

Jacula

Oh for F's sake! Can you lot all kepng a low profile please jsut get in here? It might make thing more normal!

3:43 am

Haz1558

We were too scared to say anything.... Good morning all!

3:43 am

lottijw

In other words all the lurkers say hello!!!!

3:43 am

Jacula

Okay, will do, for now, Lotti. How'sit going with you, btw?

3:44 am

lottijw

Morning Haz, hows the weather in wonderful Ireland????

3:45 am

lottijw

Jac i`d do better to find some words really!!!
Are you baking today????

3:45 am

Haz1558

It's cold! A little snow but hopefully not too much. My sister-in-law is flying over to Edinburgh this evening to visit my daughter so we're keeping our fingers crossed for the weather.

3:46 am

Jacula

Helenary - if you a a psychiatrist, you obviously have the intelligence needed to do the clicks to join BabAnon. Please join! You might find some fun there. Not everyone is nuts!

3:46 am

helenary

ce9/66 any clues please??

3:47 am

helenary

I will join..but I will do it but not tonight..its 8.45pm here and I am almost done for the night. I am an aussie.

3:47 am

lottijw

It hasn`t got to us in West Yorkshire yet Haz, but my kids are desperate for it to snow!! My brother is in Fort William....i don`t know if he`s got it yet but i would assume he has :)

3:48 am

helenary

p.s a psychologist not a psychiatrist.

3:48 am

lottijw

Helenary add an s to your ce8 :)

3:48 am

Jacula

Lotti - Yes, am baking today. Have 3 lots of cookie dough in the fridge. One is a well tried and tested chop chip cookie one. The other two I kind of invented as I went along, a chocolate version of the choc chip one and also a peanut and white choc and Bailey' Irish Cream version of that.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Snow is great to look at, but I hate the mess and inconvenience of it all. Children just see the good side of it - and why not?!

3:49 am

Haz1558

Jacula - have you ever come across the recipe for Ritznuttorte? It's basically a meringue with nuts and Ritz biscuits and is yummy!

3:50 am

helenary

lotti..need help with ce8 too!! Ta

3:50 am

lottijw

I know exactly what you mean! They`ve got their eye on the sledge tucked down the side of the garage :)

3:50 am

Jacula

Snow is just great so long as you don't have to be somewhere or do something.

3:52 am

Jacula

Haz - That does ring a bell. Would you care to put the recipe for it into BabAnon?

3:52 am

lottijw

ce8/50 is a girdle or belt chiefly used in English as a dressmaking term :)

3:53 am

Haz1558

If I can work out how to do it, I certainly will. It's one of those foolproof recipes that is easy to make, tastes wonderful, can be frozen etc.

3:53 am

helenary

beautiful Lotti, got it. Thanks

3:54 am

micamonkey

are we on a dog theme today? hehehe

3:55 am

Jacula

Helenary - may I ask what is the difference between the two?

3:56 am

lottijw

Helenary you`re welcome :) Where in Oz are you?? I have some friends who have just gone home to Oz for 4 weeks he`s a rugby(or footie as you call it) player called Brad Drew :)

3:57 am

lottijw

We are Mica...
Jac i don`t like white choc, but the rest sounds dreamy!!! Haz yours sounds fab too :)

3:59 am

helenary

of coars..psychiatrist is first a medical doctor and then may train in psychotherapy leter. A Psychologis is not a medico but comes from other disciplines like Social Work or the Arts etc etc. They say that one treats more everyday normal issues like relationships/depression etc etc, and the other more chronic problems that may require medication or more intense intervention. Not all psychiatrists do psychotherapy. Psychologists do not prescribe. Hope that helps a bit. Its a question always asked.

4:00 am

Bubbles

Morning

4:01 am

Jacula

Lotti - until DR-God gives us thr facility to either edit/delete on here or private msg I can only think to send you to one other site, on which you may already be registered... Friends Reunited.co.uk

Haz1558

Well, I feel like a fool. I had the recipe typed out and everything on babbers anon, but I've done something stupid and the whole lot has disappeared. I'll try again later - I need to do other stuff first.

Cool Miya! Babbling day for you then.

6:04 am

tbear

Fmitch...thx for those...Hi Miy...my girls have the day off too....Have u got a Miyavi pic with a Puppy?

Hey Tbear :) I'll whizz off and check...think there was one I saw once...*pootles off*

6:10 am

lshult

if so, any chance of a clue?

6:12 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay...looks like my computer doesn't want to let me google search...

6:14 am

Sherry

Miya: try all the refresh, logout/login, disconnect/connect thingies.

6:14 am

FMitch

The is no def for the ty7 but Alanis Morissette recently had a single that rymes with this word.

6:16 am

Poo's Mom

Good clue Fmitch! Lshult -- it builds off the ty4 if you have that

6:16 am

tbear

Don't worry...we'll imagine he's holding up a sweet Husky puppy,where his hand is.....By the way what yr real name,if one is allowed to ask?

6:18 am

Miyavi_fan

*trying all the refresh, connect, disconnect, login/logout thingies*

Nope, it's not budging...:/ weird...

6:19 am

Sherry

Miya: reboot darling!

6:19 am

Miyavi_fan

blah...I don't like my real name...it means 'pure'...which fits me about as much as a rottweiler suits the name 'tiny'...

6:20 am

Miyavi_fan

Sherry, I don't dare to reboot! It only takes about seven hundred years to come back to life again :)

6:21 am

tbear

Don't worry,I'm not exactly the stereotypical Tracy either....When my mother choose it....cough..in 1960,she didn't know of another in te uk and Spencer tracy was the source..mind you my initials are TLC which is nice and i hope apt

6:22 am

Sherry

Miya: too bad! sometimes it's the only way to get the pc back together.
Don't you have a second name that your folks and friends could use if you don't like your real name? That's sorta what I do coz I feel my name is to heavy for me.

6:23 am

tbear

Tryiong to work out which name means PURE....Sherry want totellus the heavy one?

6:23 am

Miyavi_fan

Wow! My initials are the rather unspectacular CAA...could have been worse though, I've got a friend who's initials are RC, which she hates :D I didn't get it until I sounded it out...R...C...

6:24 am

tbear

Miy...is it Chastity??

6:24 am

Poo's Mom

LOL my initials are CLG... sounds like a plumbing problem....

6:25 am

Sherry

Tbear: yep! Elysabeth. It's nice but heavy! So people usually call me Betty and on screen I always go by the name I chose, Sherryngton (Sherry). Sherryngton Wiggins is actually my 'nom de plume'.

6:25 am

lshult

Fmitch- just got the ty7.
thank god for www.allmusic.com
would never have deciphered your clue without it!!

6:25 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah, I get called all sorts of nicknames, Sherry! The weirdest ones bearing no relation to my name whatsoever :D
Tbear, nope...it's Cathy :/

6:26 am

tbear

Miy...my boy cat(trouble) has just come in from the garden and melted snow and walked all over my white bed linen....black paw prints everywhere,bless his little cotton socks.....NOT

6:27 am

tbear

That's not bad Miy....k.d.lang real name is cathy I believe....and she's very cool

Poos Mom....lol....Sherry know what you mean about Elizabeth...but Sherrynton is kinda fab. Hi gramma and Yoink

6:31 am

Yoink

Believe it or not, Yoink is my real name :D

6:32 am

Miyavi_fan

Poo's Mom, I sometimes get called that anyway! Teachers are never able to remember my real name, so I'm called anything...including Cynthia, Claire and Jenny!

6:32 am

Sherry

Tbear: you're right but I chose it because I feel it and Sherry sounds nice. People who know me say it's like me. And it sounds like 'cherie'.

6:34 am

tbear

Gramma...if you get the chance pls read my post from 5.01...it was a great strt to the day (for me,at least)

6:35 am

tbear

Sherry,cherie...fab in the french sense,just don't add Blair!!

6:35 am

gramma

I hate to tell you this; but, Ive always liked my name. Sing along w/me..."for it was Mary, Mary long before the fashion changed....but in society, propriety they say Marie." It's just a good old name...nothing fancy..straight forward...actually, kinda like me.

6:36 am

Miyavi_fan

Although, my family were talking about this the other day...if you had to choose a name for yourself, one to be called by for the rest of your life, what would it be?

6:37 am

tbear

Gramma...one of my favourite all time songs is Danny Wilson..'When i was marys prayer' it's so emotive...gunna put it on...lol

Miya: well, obviously, Sherry(ngton). And you? What would you pick up?

6:41 am

tbear

SORRYgirls...he's all mine mine mine....apart from looking gorgeous and being hunky...when he spoke,there was an australian,new zealand or canadian twang....I melted like the snow this morning...guess who's gunna be out in her glad rag (will get rid of the dressing gown) tomorrow from 7.30...cleaning her windows...with any luck he'll walk under the ladder and his bad luck will be my good fortune....YEAH.... I feel SO much better today.....he he

Might share all the delcious details...the cup of tea offered when he's cold...piece of toast sweetheart,you look freezing...would you like me to help you on yr round...dinner!! dinner would be lovely,thankyou...your place or mine....and then WHOOSH into the wardrobe I'll push him along with my bank manager (necessity) and Joelgee.....ha..feel like a crazy teenager this morning (nothing against teenagers,Miy)

6:46 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Karys :) And thanks...being called Miyavi, Miy or Miya I really like, since I'm effectively being named after my favourite singer :D Though that name doesn't really fit me either...'Miya' means 'elegant'...

Sherry...in spanish we say 'Esta chuchorreando' which means dripping but adding the chu is slang...fabulous word to say...heh

7:10 am

Sherry

Tbear: yeah, I like it!

7:11 am

tbear

Language....nothing like it...except conversation

ToeSockMonkey

*rubs eyes* Is it me or are we speaking another language *sips coffee and rubs eyes again*

in the US, the day after thanksgiving is called black friday -- all the stores open super-early and have insane sales for the holiday season...
its called black friday because retailers finally get out of the red + into the black (the margin of profit)

7:31 am

Sherry

Miya: you'll have to translate that bit. I spoke Japanese but only in another life! lol!
Tbear: quand j'ai bu. lol!

7:32 am

Sherry

Got it Evanadine!

7:32 am

tbear

evanadine.....and just before xmas...that's gr8. In the uk you'd have to call it Black Everyday...there are permenant sales as the economy is grim.

Miy...that's fab...I have a tree peony and never sit always stand/move..I love the paper one day flowers and the beautiful pods and large black seeds.....god I do go on. Gunna have to go out tomorrow before I implode with companyloss...Translate that next one then..

Ron....actually just realised not sure where the cooks are from,but my mothers side of the family were london boatmen...both sets of great grandfathers and lived in Islington...some great fotos from then...Gotta go..need another little sleep...See you lovely people later..xx

7:51 am

ToeSockMonkey

M_Fan - I tried to do a translator just for you but it didnt work! :( What language (s) do you speak?

Toes, thanks for trying :) I only really speak English, but I pick up a lot of Japanese from songs :) A lot of online translators don't work because they don't accept romanized Japanese script, just the characters :/

7:57 am

tbear

Here is, a piece of a poem for you,'if all the world was made of glass,my heart would run.....(not sure,weird things) to you. Must be an old poem cos they are using usted which is the polite form of you...thx TSM...to sleep or not to sleep....TO SLEEP

8:11 am

ToeSockMonkey

With the language thing - I tried.... the traslator isn't helping much for me... I am done! lol Just English for me now! ;)

8:12 am

Miyavi_fan

You're done?! Nice one :)

8:13 am

ToeSockMonkey

Not done with the puzzle, just the language thing

8:13 am

ToeSockMonkey

But thank you very much M_Fan =o)

8:13 am

Miyavi_fan

*blushing* oops...sorry :)

8:15 am

ToeSockMonkey

No it was my fault! I should have been more clear with what I was saying. See I can't even speak English well! lol ;)

I'm not that far north. For Canada, during the winter, that is warm. Southern Ontario is the most southerly point in Canada. Our capital, Ottawa is about 3 hours away (2 hours the way I drive) and they average 10 degrees colder than we do.

8:38 am

Oh well not to worry eh!!!
Nonny we can nearly get you from the grid today!!! :)

8:38 am

artlady

nonny, nice area. I just attended a conference not far from you in Galena.

8:38 am

ToeSockMonkey

You know, I like to be fashionable as well... When it's cold I dress to be warm though and I don't care if I look like a puff ball! I rather be warm and puffy lol

Yup, sure have! I lived in Omaha for a little over 3 years, so we explored a lot of Iowa.

8:40 am

brandyjack

As for the rest of Canada, damn. My brother-in-law did a stint at Cold Lake Alberta. Had to plug his car in when he went into a store to shop. Or it wouldn't start. All the parking meters had electrical outlets on them. Not for me. No way.

8:40 am

8:41 am

artlady

Brandy, my knowledge of Ontario is more over near Thunder Bay...but only during the summer...

Nonny--just read that you're from DBQ--lived there for 4 years when I went to college

8:41 am

artlady

Wow! Dubuque is hitting the big time! My husband and I visited once many moons ago and it was pretty quiet. So was Galena then (early 80's), just about dead. Things have really turned around economy-wise there.

Well, Lotti, there is a nice ho5/14 in here too. This is such a nice puzzle.........

8:47 am

Babbler

artlady, was it you who hasn't had heating lately? Do you have heating today?

8:47 am

Hey Babbler! :) (sorry...bit late)

8:48 am

artlady

pat, I teach art in the northern 'burbs.

8:48 am

brandyjack

I wouldn't consider it rude, but definitely highly suggestive......

8:49 am

patact

I teach in District U46

8:49 am

artlady

ok, you 2, now I have to get going on this puzzle to find the "highly suggestive" taint!

8:49 am

Babbler

Hiya Miya!!! HI Lottie, Artlady, BJ, Toes, Scouts, Jen ...... : D

8:50 am

artlady

I thought you might, pat. That's a HUGE district! We had a couple of ISBE/IAAE arts conferences at Larkin a few years ago...when they still had the great arts program there.

8:50 am

Babbler

.......whoops, and hi Brandyjack! lol : )

8:51 am

brandyjack

e5/12, h7/32, h5/16, h5/14, s4/5, s8/45 and q5/16 although that once is mildy rude. And that's with only 70 words found......

8:51 am

patact

Yes, HUGE district with less importance placed on arts by admin. and students. Tough to get kids out for extracurricular these days.

8:52 am

hi guys any help on the ne 8/45 & nu 8/45

8:53 am

lottijw

School run.....back soon :)

8:54 am

hurshy

ne 8/45 a star-trek-ish work. beginning is like part of atom other than proton or electron...

Actually hurshy, I think all foods are considered part of the nu8/45, even (or especially) carbs and proteins.

8:59 am

hurshy

how about the ni 5/12 other than more ni4?

8:59 am

lalobstah

does brandy jack do the puzzle to get the answers? how are the answers known so early? are the words found in a digital way or does someone actually do the puzzle?

8:59 am

roncook

ta for the nu
trouble with the trekkie word

9:00 am

hurshy

yeah, i think you're right brandyjack, i just said vegetables because they make people think of healthy things and stuff

9:00 am

lalobstah

oh. i didn't know you were here, brandyjack.

Nonny

wonderful clue Hurshy!!!!!!

9:02 am

Jen

I'm aff for a while to work off some of yesterday's meal at the gym. TTFN! :)

9:02 am

brandyjack

I use someone elses program that solves the puzzle and generates a list of words. Then I use my own program to analyze the list and produce the stat lists. And yes, I could use the word list to just type in the words. And yes I do see one or two words while I'm cutting and pasting. But I usually forget them in all the tom-foolery that follows. Until I find them in the puzzle that is.

9:03 am

artlady

Aargh! I'm suffering from molasses computer today. As in...slow as molasses in January!

9:03 am

hi all good morning!

9:04 am

9:04 am

lalobstah

oh, thank you. i've wondered that for a while. glad you were here to answer.

9:04 am

artlady

Ahhh, Brandyjack. I've been wondering how you did it. Someone actually wrote a program to solve this? Or is it a general word-puzzle solving program?

9:05 am

jenwould

oops still having flashbacks from Japanese Rock day (whew it was a crazy night ... wasabhi!!!)

9:05 am

brandyjack

For the nu, think of the a-bomb that kills people and leaves the buildings intact. These particles take 56 light-years thickness of lead to slow them down.

Good morning all, Hurshy your flinstone clue is that for the nu8 or the ne8 I got the nu8 having trouble with the ne8

9:05 am

artlady

Ok, off to visit with mum and her dog (whose pic you see in my icon). TTTL! Have a wonderful day, all.

9:06 am

brandyjack

It's a solver for square puzzles in general. But it doesn't work perfectly. It gets right upset when a QU and a U are side by side, it doesn't recognize the word STENT, and a few others. So I have to watch it carefully.

9:06 am

hurshy

thanks une!

good morning all hope all you Americans out here had a good thanksgiving

9:32 am

Miyavi_fan

Oooh, I meant to ask. On May 2nd (thinking ahead) it's the deathday of a very special person...I was wondering if, on that day, we could all put up pictures of Hide (from the band X Japan) for our icons? It would be a wonderful way to honour him

9:32 am

mamabear

Do I have this straight.. today is dog day, Monday is Fractals.... and tomorrow is Brandy Jack's choice? What about Sunday??? I also think a BJ day is in order for all his hard work!

9:32 am

hurshy

take ce4 (penny), insert vowel in the middle. then add su4 minus first letter.

9:32 am

lshult

9:35 am

FMitch

my pc just hic-uped with all the enthuisasm. We could do icons with words in them but then most of us wouldn't be able to read them, his usual icon looks like a captain on a boat. or maybe something with a Canadian theme if we don't hear from him....... Oh there he is!!!!

9:35 am

mamabear

hurshy - do you think your kitty is safe in here today? LOL

9:35 am

Babbler we need the joke now..

11:32 am

Babbler

Two bone weary public servants were working their little hearts and souls out. Their department was just too busy for staff to be able take flex. But there had to be a way...

One of the two public servants suddenly lifted his head. "I know how to get some time off work" the man whispered.

"How?" asked the second worker......................

11:32 am

Babbler

Instead of answering, the man quickly looked around. No sign of his Director. He jumped up on his desk, kicked out a couple of ceiling tiles and hoisted himself up. "Look!" he hissed, then swinging his legs over a metal pipe, hung upside down.

Within seconds, the Director emerged from the Branch Head's office at the far end of the floor. He saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he thought he was doing.

"I'm a light bulb" answered the public servant.

"I think you need some time off," barked the Director. "Get out of here - that's an order - and I don't want to see you back here for at least another two days! You understand me?"

"Yes sir", the public servant answered meekly, then jumped down, logged off his computer and left.

The second worker was hot on his heels.

"Where do you think you're going?" the boss asked.

"Home," he said lightly. "I can't work in the dark."

11:32 am

12:02 pm

lottijw

yep.......

12:03 pm

Babbler

There once was a Red Indian whose given name was "Onestone". So named because he had only one testicle. He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.

After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and said, "If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them! " The word got around and nobody called him that any more.

Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, "Good morning, Onestone." He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night. He made love to her all the next day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.

The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do. Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until a woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away for many years......................

12:03 pm

Babbler

......
Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw Onestone. She hugged him and said, "Good to see you, Onestone."

Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, then he made love to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the next day, made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird wouldn't die!

........................ .............

12:03 pm

harpjane

BB- yes, I got it! TY

12:03 pm

Babbler

What is the moral of this story?????.................... ........

OH, come on...take a guess!

Think about it.

(You're going to love this!)

...................... ..................

12:04 pm

And the moral is...
.... You can't kill two birds with one stone!!!

12:53 pm

Babbler

12:53 pm

hydra

babbler, the last ur word is an extinct wild ox.
Think of the ancient place, -- of the Chaldees (dunno if I
spelt it right), plus the last part of a famous toy company name.

12:53 pm

1:06 pm

Ho Hum

Got distracted!

1:06 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hehehe...I'll forgive you...this time :D

How are you?

1:07 pm

mab

Hi Babbler. Do you know (your greeting reminds me) that I've met people with dogs, and fussed so much over the dog that I never learned the person's name. I've done that several times.

And people are so smitten with their pets that they don't mind at all taking a back seat to the creature, so it all works out.

1:08 pm

Ho Hum

Fine ta, thanks Miy - see you had a day away from school today - woohoo!!!

1:08 pm

Babbler

that's true mab : ) I've done it many a time too!

1:09 pm

Ho Hum

Wasn't that a great j-rock day yesterday - I really must see if I can go pro so I can have ics too.

1:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

Mab, I do that. There's a gorgeous golden retriever down my road, and when my family tried to write the owner a Christmas card, we realised none of us knew his name! The dog was called Bruno, and we ended up putting "Mr. Bruno" on the card!

1:10 pm

mab

I want a Cairn Terrier (or Terrorist, as a friend of mine refers to terriers) terribly.

1:10 pm

Miyavi_fan

It was a great j-rock day...only all the gorgey icons distracted me from the puzzle! *sighs*

1:12 pm

mab

And I'm sure Bruno's master was truly enchanted. People are just that way -- I like it.

1:13 pm

Miyavi_fan

He was, Mab :) He didn't stop laughing for about a million years

1:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

Wahey, gotta go...food time :) See you all later maybe

1:15 pm

1:16 pm

Babbler

se7/32 clue posted earlier (but I haven't got it yet):

Thanks, Babbler! I just returned from Roma and saw His Pappas :) so I should have figured it out!

1:33 pm

ToeSockMonkey

tbear aw thank you :)

babbler I think this one is a hard one. I like the ones where you actually feel like you are getting some where.

*finishes putting up the hammock and climbs in with a pillow and blanker*

2:00 pm

speedfreak sam

I have done 10 but on the word list it says i only have 1

2:00 pm

Babbler

2:00 pm

ToeSockMonkey

*Thinks to self* "Hammock in the guest room.... genius!"

2:01 pm

Babbler

or try refreshing the page - the refresh icon at the top of your screen, or F5.

2:01 pm

kakamolaka

2:01 pm

faeriekae

TSM are you going in for a nap

2:01 pm

ToeSockMonkey

tehehe babbler :) Yes I am having a rest. Eyes nearly hurt from hunting so badly for those hidden words! And a hammock sounded like a fab idea!

2:02 pm

ToeSockMonkey

No, not a nap. Just lazy time! :)

2:02 pm

Ho Hum

kakamolaka - someone who asks a question could be called this.

2:03 pm

Babbler

kaka - there's a Q word that's almost here but not quite, right? If you go to ? for any word in the list, to the dictionary, type that word in, you'll see the qu7 straight off..... :)

2:03 pm

Babbler

I ought to stop and eat, but I want to finish the darned ru words first........ : )

2:04 pm

faeriekae

yes it does I'm thinking of a short nap myself with the snow outside and the fire in the fireplace yes it does sound good

2:06 pm

kakamolaka

got it... good advice.. thanks

2:06 pm

faeriekae

ok I'm outta here for now gotta go feed my real life dog "Max" plus he needs to go out for a few minutes before the faerie puts him down to rest

2:06 pm

speedfreak sam

2:07 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Feariekae-just read your profile. If you like pretty fairy art I know a lot of websites! One of my friends actually is an AMAZING artist. Take a peek at www.tarnishedimages.com her name in Ruth Thompson. I am sure you have seen her stuff around!

2:08 pm

Atalante

you're friends with Ruth THompson? OOOOOOO her work is amazing!

2:08 pm

ToeSockMonkey

or anyone who likes art go there for that matter... babbler you might like it too :)

2:08 pm

Babbler

sam I have 78 words yet to find.

the ce9 is a plural of ce8. It is french for belt. If you go to google, go to french dictionary, type in belt in English to French box, you will see the word.

2:09 pm

faeriekae

TSM thanks for web address I'll certainly look it up also you should look at "thefaereigathering.com" there is a faerie done in my image there. Lisa Stinke is the artist and she is a very dear friend of mine

2:09 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Yeah I made a costume for her 2 years ago for the renaissance faire that she had her very first art shop at! :) we dont talk much but I have TONS of her art. I even modeled for some on her art. GREAT lady!

Chris P - it's French for circle - think of the circus troupe ci***** de soleil

2:28 pm

Babbler

chris p : ci**** du soleil. and plural

2:28 pm

judierae

I need help with se5/10 and te 7/28

Babbler

2:29 pm

Haz1558

The only ru 5 I have is 16 - presumably not that one?

2:30 pm

Chris P

Thanks all for the ci clues. As I'm a techno moron(!) and only just managed to get my own picture in - you've got no chance of me changing my icon!!

2:30 pm

e_gurl85

any clues on the qu7/40

2:30 pm

Babbler

e-gurl - someone asking a question

2:31 pm

kristin

ru5/14 - if you don't walk you ru*
t**, tac, toe

2:31 pm

Babbler

judie - te7/28 - oneies, twoies, threeies..... all the way up to te***** (double consonant in middle)

2:32 pm

judierae

ru sounds like a type of clothing usually a top

2:32 pm

Babbler

kristin ! MWAH!! I can eat............... *slumps*

see you guys shortly... : D

2:34 pm

judierae

thank you Babbler

2:35 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Kristin! Thanks!

2:35 pm

movieman

Chris - if U really want to change your icon, you could do what I do...

Go into google images, type in whatever image U want to search for, then keep looking until U find a suitable one, then save the image to your PC's hard drive.
Then go back to Babble, click on "My Profile" in the top right hand corner, then click on "edit" underneath your icon, then click on "browse", then upload your icon and Bob should (hopefully) be your uncle...

2:35 pm

e_gurl85

babbler lost?

2:36 pm

Chris P

Thanks movieman - will try it some time, but not today as I'm short of babble time!!

2:38 pm

FMitch

Movieman ... and tomorrow is Egyptian day.

2:38 pm

ToeSockMonkey

FMitch, your ahead of the game! :) Great icon!

2:39 pm

FMitch

Ive been practising as I had problems changing it and now am off for the night - see you all on the morrow.

2:40 pm

judierae

babble.. did you get ru yet

2:40 pm

mab

Have lovely evening Fmitch.

2:42 pm

Haz1558

Judirae - she did get it and was heading to eat. The clue helped me as well, so thank you. It also gave me a tu 5

2:44 pm

judierae

Haz1
I need a 5 se/10

2:44 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Well guess what! I found a whole 33 words! lol

2:45 pm

Atalante

I forgot one of the best fairy art sites - http://www.enchanted-art.com/ - Jessica Galbraith is an *amazing* artist!

2:46 pm

Haz1558

judi - I haven't got it yet myself but will keep looking and wave when I've found it.

2:46 pm

mab

That was fast, Toes.

2:46 pm

ToeSockMonkey

later FMitch!

Judie-yes she did and she went for a bite to eat :)

2:47 pm

Babbler

yes thx judi! (just eating.....)

got the link atalante.......... : )

2:48 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Atalante - Wonderful! Thank you! Another to look at as soon as I get home! You know my whole home is decorated in the medieval/renaissance theme but I have a fairy garden guest bedroom and bathroom :) Art EVERYWHERE! lol

2:50 pm

Haz1558

se 5/10 - a type of finch. To the se add the first three letters of a piece of jewellery worn on the finger.

Fairy art kind of edges onto my own art interests - I don't think I could draw a fairy to save my life but I love looking at the sites and getting some inspiration from them! There's a few more I'll copy in here tomorrow, because their site is down at the moment

2:51 pm

Haz1558

Atalante - is that a golden cocker spaniel puppy?

2:52 pm

Atalante

of a strange, muddy and grumpy-looking sort :)

2:52 pm

Haz1558

Still beautiful!

2:53 pm

Maisie

Help needed for a newish player. Any clues for the ce9

2:54 pm

Atalante

he was :) my poor little boy ... its a cocker we used to have until he was run over 2 years ago *sniff* The poor boy was brain-damaged at birth and never really managed to learn any sense, let alone road sense ... but he had a happy little life while he was here!

2:54 pm

ToeSockMonkey

Alright I am done here at work. Now to drive home! I will update my icon for tomorrow then... I have the perfect picture... and i have lots of websites to visit ;)

That's sad - the log seems to have its fair share of doggy disasters this evening.

2:55 pm

ToeSockMonkey

You know... I could get you a signed piece from ruth... i have like 10 not even hanging up!

2:55 pm

ToeSockMonkey

ok byeeeee

2:56 pm

Haz1558

Babs1 - google is useful if you have a definition.

2:56 pm

judierae

I have that one Hazl... there is one more

2:58 pm

Babs1

Thanks, Haz...I'm just wondering how so many of you babblers actually complete these grids...

3:00 pm

Atalante

signed pieces from Ruth? You lucky lucky person!!!!

3:01 pm

Haz1558

It took me quite a few weeks to actually complete a grid. You build up experience and begin to remember words - it is never easy but it does get better. Just enjoy!

3:02 pm

Haz1558

It's also a big help to have Brandyjack's stats from Babblers Anonymous, because you then have a better idea of what you are looking for.

3:04 pm

spatialbean

Can anyone help me with the te 7/28? P p p p lease?

Thanks!

~:o)

3:04 pm

Babs1

Thanks, Haz...I do refer to the stats list..just don't want to spend toooo much time babbling compared to the rest of my life!

3:05 pm

Haz1558

spatialbean - the te7/28 looks exactly like the game played on grass or clay courts, but there's an extra vowel inserted.

3:06 pm

spatialbean

Bless you Haz!

3:07 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

3:12 pm

Forbes

I NEED ANY HINTS YOU CAN GIVE ME PLEASE :)

3:14 pm

Haz1558

Are you a complete beginner or do you need help with specific words?

3:14 pm

movieman

Need help re: the re7/32...many, many thanx in advance...

3:15 pm

Forbes

:( dont be mean i just need hints

3:17 pm

Babbler

movieman - high school re*****

(i'm watching grosse point blank - that's a big hint too!)

3:17 pm

Haz1558

Forbes, I wasn't being mean - quite the opposite. If you have played before you will know the basics. If you haven't then it is helpful to read the rules at the top of the page. Use the clues that people give, and if you need help with a specific word we will help. We will not just give words away as that takes the enjoyment out of the game.

3:18 pm

movieman

Thanx Babbler - just found it as U were posting...lol

3:19 pm

judierae

Finally found it!!! and finally finished Whew~~~

3:19 pm

Babbler

hi forbes, welcome to the game!
lots of hints in the chat log, just scroll down.
Stats are in Babblers Anonymous, which is at the bottom of the list in Friends of Babble panel on the right of your screen. Go to General, then stats and you'll see them. Anything in particular you're stuck on, we're all happy to help!!! (except me right now cos I have to watch my John Cusack movie!! ) :D

3:35 pm

beebee

mab-lol

3:36 pm

Trotters

I've had a very hard day at work in the NHS and then a small panic over my 11 month old granddaughter (oh! and mourning George Best). Now I'm babbling and watching "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" at the same time" - pure escapism!

3:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

Trotters, did you just see that gross trial? Sick!

3:37 pm

beebee

kristen-
let miy give you the clue for the us5- she's how i got it

3:39 pm

beebee

harp-

3:40 pm

Miyavi_fan

Trotters, they were so gorgeous! I would have drawn the line at the eels though :/

3:40 pm

kristin

3:40 pm

Nonny

3:41 pm

Trotters

Miy
They're just fish - very tasty

3:41 pm

beebee

Guess what everyone...movieman has finished yet again...

Many, many thanks 2 all who have assisted me, and I suppose all I have left 2 do now is swap a Mexican dog 4 something Egyptian...

Oh, I almost forgot 2 say goodnight, so here I go....

Goodnight y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

3:43 pm

Miyavi_fan

Trotters, I had a rather unfortunate experience once in which an eel came in to painful contact with my face...fish slap! It's put me off :)

3:43 pm

kristin

Beebee the tr I need is in between words where the third letter is "i", so I don't understand the re4/4 clue.

Miy - square?? What?? PLEASE not a math clue!

3:43 pm

snowyowl

Hi Miyavi and congrats movieman!!!!!!

3:44 pm

CATHB

3:44 pm

Nonny

Thanx Beebee---or in keeping w/today's icons....POOCHES GRACIAS!!!

3:44 pm

Miyavi_fan

Okay...just take the us, then put in the two letters that are sharing the same square on the grid. Add a vowel for flavour :)

3:45 pm

Miyavi_fan

Trotters, unfortunately it is true! My dad was cooking one, since we had lots of family coming around, and he was so proud of the eel he'd bought that he came right up into the study, where I was, and put it on my shoulder...I wasn't really expecting it, turned my face sharply around and had a fish slap :D

3:45 pm

kristin

big sloppy dog kiss Miy!

3:46 pm

Miyavi_fan

Oops...and hey, Snowy :) How are you?

3:46 pm

beebee

3:47 pm

kristin

tr 5/16 b/w the 6/21 and 5/10

3:47 pm

Babs1

looked for definition of the us word..couldn't find any meaning...maybe just latin word?

Snowy, ouch! I went babysitting with a friend, and oooh my God...the sights! The sounds! All children are monsters! Monsters I say!

3:49 pm

beebee

kristin- i went back and looked - i was combining the te and tr clues- sorry
tri + a vowel + a con. + the same vowel as before

3:50 pm

Miyavi_fan

Trotters, I did in the end...And you're very welcome for the laugh...hey, just see my profile :D

3:50 pm

Tbug

poster children for condoms eh?

3:51 pm

Trotters

Miy
yes, all children are monsters but for some strange reason grandchildren aren't (are they snowy?)

3:51 pm

Miyavi_fan

*chokes on own saliva* WHAT was that about condoms?!

3:52 pm

kristin

beebee I never would have found that - thanks! how about no4/4 and 5/10 - not the opposite of some

3:52 pm

Miyavi_fan

*brain clicks* Oooh...right, I got it :)

*gives it another few minutes*

*starts laughing hysterically*

3:52 pm

beebee

I'm jealous, snowy, my two are 250 miles away so don't see them very often

3:53 pm

Tbug

of course... if i had any... mine wouldnt be either! )

3:54 pm

Miyavi_fan

Trotters...what about the children who are both children and grandchildren?

Part-time monsters? Maybe monsters 2 - 5:30 on Friday afternoons?

3:54 pm

Tbug

*adds eyeballs to smile* 8)

3:54 pm

beebee

kristin-
sorry i don't have those yet- i'm not usually so spaced out- maybe a lasting effect from too many corona's on turkey day

3:55 pm

Nonny

need en5/12 desperately

3:55 pm

Miyavi_fan

If I had any grandchildren, then apart from being a miracle of modern science, I'd imagine they'd be just like me...

Good grief.

3:55 pm

snowyowl

I know TrotterI always feel guilty as the 3 I have tonight have grandparents who live a long journey away and only get to see them once or twice a year. I try not to moan because they are so gorgeous - Much nicer than your own kids really LOL!

well I'm down to a couple res, ses, tes and those 2 nos and a2z was of no help :(

4:00 pm

snowyowl

Thats why I'm so grateful to have them Trotters. I always think they must hate us! Having said that they are fantastic with the children when they see them and I stay away as much as I can so they get concentrated child time. The children talk about them all the time so don't fell forgotten. Tehy regard them as special because they see them less often.

4:00 pm

Nonny

4:05 pm

Trotters

Snowy
I feel better now, I always thought the other grandparents were avoiding us, never thought they were being considerate! Perhaps you should mention to the others why you stay away? I do have good times on the phone (ring a ring a roses is very strange with just a phone in your hand!) My daughter mentioned tonight about getting a video link on the pc.

4:05 pm

Yikes. I'm slightly (only slightly) sensitive re bull mastiffs as my neighbor's dog bit my cat a year ago. She survived after several surgeries and is as good as new.

William Orbit is brilliant. Madonna worked with him on her Ray Of Light album (her best in my humble opinion). He also did an album of classical music but updated. Very talented guy!!!

did not see any...not sure if i want to ( no offense)...last year the hosts had a bird feeder crook bent double by one...

8:17 pm

shorty

yes I thought i was the only one in this world that still did it that way!!!

8:17 pm

or as Miya said, start us, add the tile with 2 letters, then add a vowel...

Babbler

scatty, think oneies, twoies, threeies, all the way up to te***** (double consonant)

8:19 pm

harpjane

Actually, it's bad manners to have a bird feeder if you live in bear country. Not to mention a good way to lose your bird feeder. We're always getting public service announcements, don't feed your pets outdoors, pick the apples off your trees, etc. This minimizes the chance that a bear trying to "bulk up" will ge used to human-offered food.

same word as the te 5 above it, with an extra vowel thrown in for good measure

I'm still having issues with the te 6/21

9:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

mab - give this to cat when you're done * hands over the pollock*

9:17 pm

mamabear

that would be my next option too. But now I have glasses for close up and for far away. But like now, I don't need them at all!!! Do NOT want to go the bifocal route!

9:18 pm

katmama

i used to have bifocals - they were a PAIN to get used to...

9:18 pm

mab

By the way, I worked the the mental health field for the past several years, and the lu6 is the technical term.

Temple - I will be bored until the day after Xmas -- the last week of the year is called Insurance Week bec everyone will suddenly realise that their medical flex benefits are about to expire and they have to use the money ore lose it -- glasses are the easiest high medical expense item out there to buy so they come running to us

9:20 pm

GreyWoulf

What kind of bifocal, Temple -- lined or no line?

9:20 pm

scsongbird1

any clues for the ou5's?

9:22 pm

mamabear

te 6/21 - first three letters are the number after nine. the last three are a measure of time minus the first consonant

9:22 pm

mab

TY7? Absolutely, positively my last request.

9:24 pm

vicky blank

thank you! i could not for the life of me figure out that middle "extra vowel" and how to make it all plural

sorry gw - i cannot see grid & chat at same time...progressive...but till then i only used reading glasses and my distance correctin is the least....when i look at pc at work i cannot look at down angle easily so i gues it was a poor choice...

9:25 pm

mamabear

GW - that's EXACTLY what I would be doing this time of year, except I had to use up all my medical flex dollars this year on other medical expenses. So no new glasses for me!!!

9:26 pm

mab

Thank you.

9:26 pm

mamabear

welcome!!!

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Temple Owl - not necessarily -- not trying to advertise here - but if you come into any Lenscrafter's (mine is in Plymouth Meeting) and talk to an optician - they can double check your measurements and make sure everything lines up properly :)

9:28 pm

mamabear

GW - how you doing with the word count tonite?

9:29 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA - if it helps you, I have certificates that I am supposed to share with friends and/or family that give you 50% off a pair of glasses -- you definitely qualify as the former, so I can always mail one to you ;)

9:30 pm

GreyWoulf

I have 61 left to find -- the last couple of clues since I logged on have helped me find some that I missed theis AM :)

9:30 pm

mamabear

That's very sweet of you GW!!!! I got new glasses last year in December, and my insurance allows for every other year, so I'll probably wait until 2006.. mine seem to be ok for now.

9:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

last se5/10 please? or if clue given anyone know when?

9:31 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA - it is recommended that you have your eyees examined every two years, hence the insurance allowance... but if you start having trouble, let me know :)

(I always have unused certificates)

9:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

also su 8/45?

9:32 pm

mamabear

se 5/10 - google this: "Any of several Old World finches of the genus Serinus having yellowish plumage, especially a European species (S. serinus) closely related to the canary"

9:32 pm

scsongbird1

any help for the last ou 5?

9:34 pm

mamabear

su 8 - the root word means a very hot and humid day... or expressing deep desire, the 8 is the root plus the "more so" suffix

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Temple - I'm not saying they were made wrong-- It's just that sometimes how they are sitting on your face may be contributing to your difficulties --- so if you happen to be passing by, come on in and have them check it out -- it's a free service we provide and we'll even clean them for you too! :D
